🌎 @BenjaminPothier connaît l'espace sans aller au-delà de la stratosphère. Ses destinations de prédilections ? Un ancien bunker nucléaire en Pologne ou les volcans de l'Islande où il participe à des missions "analogues" qui simulent les conditions extrêmes de travail là-haut.

Derik M. was on the McMurdo Station in Antarctica as a US Coast Guard in 2017, when he spotted a family of penguins. Suddenly, a piece of the ice broke and the clip turned out to be one of the most thrilling ever filmed

We didn’t. The latest one just happens to be in space, where very few people can see it.

To All Explorers Around The World,⁠ ⁠ I have the sad duty to announce the passing of Explorers Club Medalist Captain Don Walsh MED’61, who alongside Jacques Piccard was the first human to the bottom of the deepest point in the ocean, the 10,916 meter Challenger Deep.⁠ ⁠ The Challenger Deep expedition is part of the foundational bedrock of the story of The Explorers Club. ⁠ ⁠ One of our five Famous Firsts - Don quite literally set the standard by which we measure ourselves as explorers. ⁠ ⁠ First to the Poles, First to Everest, First to the Moon — when we walk on Mars, that accomplishment will be in no small part due to the runway laid by Don, and an indomitable generation of trailblazers like him who have made this Club what it is today."⁠ ⁠ Read President Richard Garriott's full obituary of Captain Don Walsh here: bit.ly/3QEOSb6

More carbon than expected and an abundance of water were found in the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid sample returned to Earth by #OSIRISREx. The two combined could mean that the building blocks for life on Earth might be locked in these rocks: go.nasa.gov/45sL5TQ
